Description

Chain Valley Colliery is a coal mine located at Mannering Park, New South Wales, Australia. The colliery was developed to provide coal for the Vales Point Power Station, adjacent to the mine. The mine started in August 1960, with coal production commencing in 1961. The Great Northern and Fassifern coal seams have been mined using bord and pillar mining methods. Coal is transported to the Vales Power Station by an overland conveyor system, while excess coal is trucked to domestic customers and also to the Port of Newcastle for export.
